Network improvement works completed successfully as water supply returns to customers in Tubbercurry
Essential network improvement works in Tubbercurry have been successfully completed and water supply is returning to Uisce Éireann customers affected by the overnight outage in the area.
The works, which took place overnight, involved the removal of existing pipework from private land and its diversion into the public road network as part of site development works along Circular Road in Tubbercurry.
The works will help secure the infrastructure, ensuring safer access for future maintenance and repairs.
Water supply is returning to customers in Kilmactigue, Aclare, Cloonacool, Annagh, Banada, Curry, Bellaghy, Moulough, Carrowreagh, Tubbercurry town and surrounding areas, with supply turned back on in time for schools, businesses and essential services re-opening for normal day to day activities.
Uisce Éireann's Kevin Love said: "We are delighted to have completed these essential works successfully and to have water supply returning to customers. I'd like to sincerely thank our crews who worked throughout the night to deliver these works safely and efficiently, helping to minimise disruption for customers. We also want to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while these important works were carried out."
Uisce Éireann advises that it can take several hours for normal water supply to fully return to all customers as reservoirs recharge and the network returns to normal operation.
